Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Improved with the Eduard PE set for this kit, Master metal cannons, and a Cutting Edge resin reflector sight (OOP), and scratchbuilt details on the cockpit. I used an old Super Scale decal sheet following most of its painting guide. This [...]
This is the fourth of four F-86s that I have built for the "F-86 Sabre and FJ Fury Group". I chose the Italeri 1/48 F-86E for this build, which actually comes from the old ESCI molds from 1979. The biggest problem with this kit [...]
This is the Platz 1/144 P-51D. This continues to add to my 1/144 collection. These Platz kits [1/144 P-47, A-4 Skyhawk & F-8 Crusader] are very nice and make into great little displays.

Kit is quite old, and not so fun to build, but I managed to complete it. Raised panel lines are surely not my favorites...
Intake should be naturally white inside, but I noticed it too late in order to fix it. Not the only mistake I'd [...]
With all its fit issues, Hasegawa's Scooter is a very nice kit that depicts well the aircraft. Hasegawa had a dedicated IDF late Skyhawk version in a limited edition boxing. These kits quickly disappeared from the market leaving the [...]
